Variations on a Theme

  • Principle
    Artabus defines every month a new theme. Artabus' artists have the full month to create one to three artworks being their interpretation of that theme.
    The theme is chosen so that all artists can work on it, either painters, sculptors, photographs... Themes are not chosen for the simplicity but for the degree of involvement in their interpretation.
    Visitors can leave a message on the resulting works using the guestbook of the artist.
    A debate takes place through Artabus's forum, available through the artist's private member area, so that the results can be challenged by the artists' community.

    Elsewhere

    Artworks

    Ailleurs

    Alain Barat Ailleurs
    Artist's statement:
    She IS Elsewhere, the island which one dreams, the ground for which one gives all...
    Biologically programmed to be transported by her, one cannot withdraw oneself
    from the obviousness : it is our origin, our source, our search, our elsewhere...

    Paradisiers

    Françoise Dugourd Caput Paradisiers
    Artist's statement:
    Elsewhere under the tropics, green and coloured the multicoloured birds gambols to him

    Cuba

    Chloe Yzoard Cuba
    Artist's statement:
    Cuban paradoxes
    Happiness and frustration at Havana.
    This is the first of a series of painting which will be dedicated to the life under Fidel Castro’s socialist regime. I have had the chance to live at Havana for nearly two years, and I wish to share this unique experience and my personal thoughts on this astonishing country.
    An invitation to the heart of an island isolated by its regime and where people are the conscisous puppets of a play directed by the Lider Maximo.

    Ailleurs III

    Stéphane Losse Ailleurs III
    Artist's statement:
    The ocean is really the place where every thoughts to somewhere else are permited

    ARTS PREMIERS

    Jean-Marie Goma Arts premiers
    Artist's statement:
    Do not we say that we are dust of stars ? These stars in this somewhere else that is the space.
    Would this somewhere else be our we to, as Africa is him for the human race ?
    Peoples moreover and from here not be that a whole, somewhere else is thus only here.

    Ailleurs II

    Stéphane Losse Ailleurs II
    Artist's statement:
    Elsewhere !!! One day, who's never got the eyes lost on the horizon and thinking about thousands things at the same time but really not thinking about them ?

    Ailleurs

    Jaclinn Roos Ailleurs
    Artist's statement:
    Elsewhere....
    Beyond,
    Above here,
    Over there, where ?
    In dream world where the time is suspend and no limits !

    Chroniques marsiennes

    Françoise Dugourd Caput Chroniques marsiennes
    Artist's statement:
    Infinite space, carrier of acquaintance of the birth to our earth, Mars, often subject of fantasy elsewhere, object of our dreams of extraterrestrial lives always unsatiated, red passion of this universe very mysterious.

    Cosmic connexion

    Gine-Louise Delauney Cosmic connexion
    Artist's statement:
    Casually lengthened on her bed, the girl in the body of nymph, holds out the hand towards the night. She imagines to be able to seize a star ! A star which will take him towards one somewhere else, maybe indeed in the wonderland !

    Ailleurs

    Stéphane Losse Elsewhere
    Artist's statement:
    Elsewhere ! Who's never thought at one moment of his life, to be an other place...

    Ailleurs

    Alain Woulters Ailleurs
    Artist's statement:
    "There, take a look ! - To look at what ? And where ? - Look at elsewhere - Elsewhere it is what ? it is where? - It is there! Look at the inaccessible one elsewhere."

    Les gardiens

    Vivianne Couture The guardians
    Artist's statement:
    Somewhere, in a place out of the time, you can find very old living beings. Like the oldest of the trees in a forest, we recognize them emerging through all summits, they are the guards of the crowned temple.

    Augustin Indigo

    Redpancake Augustin Indigo
    Artist's statement:
    Ailleurs,
    it is both time and space.
    In an analogic way,
    a repeated sound more and more quickly
    becomes little by little a sustain note,
    just as the line is a multitude
    juxtaposed points.
    This unperceivable and troubled transformation
    represents to my mind a concept of the infinite one.

    Horizons

    Françoise Dugourd Caput Horizons
    Artist's statement:
    Shimmering colors of the sunsets, of dawns splashed of dew, of violets remain of warm nights and warning of gleams of lights
